Common Name: This is the domain name for which you have purchased the SSL Certificate.

Note

The Common Name should match the domain name of the order. If you have purchased the SSL Certificate for yourdomain.com, you need to enter yourdomain.com as the Common Name.

For wildcard certificates, enter the Common Name as *.yourdomain.com. This means that the certificate will be issued for all sub-domains of yourdomain.com.

The SSL Certificate issued will be valid for yourdomain.com as well as www.yourdomain.com.

Once you enter these details, you will receive an encoded file – your CSR. This CSR can now be used to submit your SSL Certificate application to the Certificate Authority.
